Wichita Art Museum Honorary trustee Jayne Seydell Milburn left an indelible legacy through her many decades of museum involvement. She also bequeathed an extraordinary collection of American paintings, watercolors, and sculpture to the museum. Opening on her birthday in 2017, this modest exhibition provides a first glimpse at the stellar works of art that keep the memory of Jayne Milburn alive at the museum. Works by artists Thomas Moran, Stanton McDonald-Wright, John Sloan, and others will be on view.

Most of us give color little thought. Yet it is a compelling topic that links science, history, art, and culture. From printmakers whose work is focused on the spiritual and emotional power of color, to sculptors who have utilized colored materials and applied pigments to give a lifelike quality to their statues, this exhibition—drawn from the Wichita Art Museum collection—celebrates the rainbow of colors that artists employ.
